Answer to Question 1

C, D
Feedback:
When developing cultural knowledge, the nurse would seek resources to increase understanding of different sociocultural groups and become familiar with culturally/ethnically diverse groups, worldviews, beliefs, practices, lifestyles, and problem-solving styles. Examining one's personal sociocultural heritage and personal biases and prejudices are components involved with developing cultural awareness. Performing a competent cultural assessment and advocating for social justice are components involved with developing cultural skills.

Meningitis due to Streptococcus group B along with Escherichia coli is most common in newborns and infants. H. influenzae type B is a common cause in infants between the ages of 6 and 9 months. S. pneumoniae and N. meningitides are common causes in children older than 3 months and in adults.
